Photos of the exhibits of the Louvre Museum Paris. The Louvre Museum is one the world biggest and renowned museums. Famed for its artworks the Louvre also houses archaeological collections from antiquity with Egyptian, near Eastern, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Islamic arts, sculptures and artefacts. One of the most famous archaeological exhibits in the Louvre is the Venus de Milo. This iconic statue is the centre of an impressive collection of classical Greek and Roman sculptures. The Egyptian collection has over 50,000 exhibits with artefacts dating back to 4,000 BC. The Greek, Etruscan, and Roman department displays pieces from the Mediterranean Basin dating from the Neolithic to the 6th century. The Islamic art collection, the museum's newest, spans "thirteen centuries and three continents”. The sculpture department comprises work created before 1850 that does not belong in the Etruscan, Greek, and Roman department. Near Eastern antiquities, the second newest department, dates from 1881 and presents an overview of early Near Eastern civilization and "first settlements", before the arrival of Islam. The department is divided into three geographic areas: the Levant, Mesopotamia (Syria, Iraq), and Persia (Iran). Download photo of the exhibits of the Louvre Museum or buy as photo art prints on line.
